No body likes a smartarse$0.78 per litre here...
If you think that £1.319 /L is expensive, over here we are paying £1.4/L for the standand 95 RON stuff, and £1.55/L for the 99RON that is normally required by my TC.
Just to add insult to injury, since a couple of weeks ago the road tax excemption (with very limited use) for historic cars was deleted, so even for a dozen fair weather drives per year i have to pay the full €615 ( that's £546 for your convenience). Needless to say, my Rover is off the road now.
Tanks holds 75 litres I think, so a few more to go
Glad to see you have your car back from Colin, mine is still there but hopefully being taken for MOT tomorrow!
Rip off, but still sunny (well, not today) Greece!

You may have cheap fuel, but in UK we have so many wonderful things to compensate for the costly nectar.
The stunning British weather. Brexit. Elected representatives who can’t keep their hands to themselves. The prospect of an interest rate rise so we can’t afford to pay our mortgages. Stupid flipping winter bearing down on me. I could go on and on. Oh - I already have - sorry.
Anyway, you can keep your cheap old fuel - I’m staying here in paradise.
I thought fixing it was expensive, but it seems actually that driving it is the ultimate indulgence.
Pete: I’ve got mine back certainly, but I couldn’t afford for Colin to finish the job properly for me so even though we’re back on the road, there is still loads of work to be done. I saw your car when I was up there. I don’t often covet other people’s stuff, but I’m ashamed to admit to being a little bit jealous. It will be worth the wait.
what is " an average speed camera zone", sounds interesting ?LOL
That really sucks - I am sorry to hear that Demetris. Any chance things will improve and you'll get back on the road?
You also forgot to include the joys of driving for mile after mile in an average speed camera zone, coupled with endless roadworks where no one seems to be road-working at all.
It is a section of road covered by speed cameras that are interlinked, so if you slow down for the camera and speed up after it, you will get bust at the next camera as it will calculate how long you took to cover the known distance between the 2 cameras and if it's less than the required time, then you get invited to donate funds to the Fiscus and a few license points, too, for good measure if applicable.what is " an average speed camera zone", sounds interesting ?

It's a delightful variant of a speed camera - they measure your average speed over a stretch of road (varying distance) and if your average speed exceeds the posted limit you win a prize. By prize I mean a ticket.what is " an average speed camera zone", sounds interesting ?
